I first got to know Lauren after hearing about her accident and discovering she was following me on Twitter. I sent her a tweet, and we have been in touch ever since. Now the tables have turned, and I am the one following Lauren in life... a life that is just getting started. Her story teaches us all that there are no accidents in life. Lauren reminds us that God has a master plan for each and every one of us, and hers is to use her voice and her remarkable story to inspire and help others. Still LoLo is a beautiful read that helps us remember that sometimes what feels like the end is really just the beginning.

Lauren Scruggss story is the most inspirational journey Ive ever had the opportunity to witness firsthand, and Still LoLo truly depicts this young womans perseverance and faith in the midst of tribulation. I have never seen a family stay so strong and committed to the Lord through such a life-changing event. Laurens steadfast love of Jesus and her willingness to trust in him with all her heart have done more for her friends and family than she will ever know. Her attitude, joy, and faith are daily reminders of what I aspire to be. I feel blessed to know her.

Ive personally known the Scruggs family and Lo for ten years. Watching them endure the last year has been tremendous as their faith in Jesus and confidence in his plans for their lives have encouraged and edified my own walk. God often gives stories to strengthen and encourage the weary heart. I think youll find this story to be one of those.

Thank you so much to each person who has helped me and my family following the accident.
Many of you I know, but many of you I dont.
Words cannot express my level of gratitude for your encouragement, gifts, prayers, support, and ongoing concern.
This book is affectionately dedicated to you.
Love, Lauren
Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Dont be afraid.

Lauren and I sat comfortably at the nail salon getting our toenails done. Chatting away, we joked about how we should get our fingernails done for half price since we each have only one hand! One of the girls doing our nails asked if we were best friends. We laughed and told her we had just met that day.
I was ecstatic to meet Lauren. We had talked on Skype a few months earlier during a call set up by my nonprofit organization, Friends of Bethany Hamilton, which reaches out to traumatic amputees and shark attack survivors. I made plans to meet up with Lauren during a visit I was making to Texas. Before our visit to the salon, Lauren and I sat over lunch with our moms and talked about our struggles, professional ventures, food, guys, and our faith in Jesus Christ. We talked about anything and everything. We were able to relate on so many levelsfirst, as fellow followers of Christ, then as sisters in tragedy. It was a blast just getting acquainted!
Having gone through similar experiences, Lauren and I (and our mothers) could really identify with each other. About eight years before, I had been bitten by a shark while surfing and lost my entire left arm. I nearly lost my life as well. Now, after experiencing for myself how God can turn a terrible situation into a great blessing, I sat with Lauren. Just six months earlier she had suffered the loss of her left hand and eye. Yet the God-given joy and strength that comes from trusting him wholeheartedly emanated from her radiant smile.
Since the day we met, Ive had a chance to read Still LoLo. It brought me through so many familiar emotions. I smiled, laughed, and cried as I read about what Lauren has encountered. Life often feels like a long, arduous climb, and I felt much of that pain as I read all that Lauren went throughfrom her parents struggles during her early childhood, to her challenges as a young woman trying to find her way in this world, to the night she lost her arm and almost lost her life.
I read with compassion about the struggles Lauren faced through all of these life-changing events. Yet in the face of so many overwhelming obstacles, Lauren, her parents, and her twin sister, Brittany, found their source of strength and hope in Jesus Christin much the same way that my family and I did.
